New Ideal Care Home given seal of approval by Mayor and Mayoress of Calderdale

Staff at Calderdale’s newest care home were delighted to showed off its specialist dementia facilities to members of the caring profession on Wednesday 27th April 2011, to mark its opening in the local community.

Savile Park of Mellor Street, which is operated by Ideal Care Homes, provides a home for 55 people living with dementia. The brand new, luxurious facility, which is managed by Paula Finn, was visited by over 50 sector workers as the care home opened its doors for the very first time.

Guests included local care workers, district nurses, Councillor Pauline Nash and the Mayor and Mayoress of Calderdale, Keith and Eileen Watson, who met with Ideal Care Homes’ Chairman, Lawrence Tomlinson. The Mayor and Mayoress were hugely impressed that Savile Park will provide a valued service for their community. They both commented how ‘lovely’ the home was, and the Mayor even went on to say: “If I was ever to live in a home, Savile Park is where I want to live.”

In a presentation by Ideal Care Homes Managing Director, Mark Greaves, guests were given an insight into Ideal Care Homes and its aim to change the face of dementia care in Calderdale. Tours of the three-storey home also took place before guests joined for a buffet lunch.

Mark Greaves commented: “Savile Park is a stunning care home by anybody’s standards and the team relished the opportunity to show off its first rate facilities to Calderdale. Paula and her team were able to showcase just why our homes are a great place to live and they very much look forward to Savile Park becoming an integral part of the local community.” 

Savile Park, which boasts fully landscaped sensory gardens, a courtyard, coffee bar and a hairdressing salon, is the nineteenth home to be opened by Ideal Care Homes.

It was built by Ideal Care Homes’ sister company LNT Construction, both part of the Leeds-based LNT Group which is owned by leading care expert Lawrence Tomlinson.  The Yorkshire born entrepreneur is responsible for a new era in care by abolishing third party top-up fees to ensure the highest quality of care for all, regardless of financial wealth and circumstances.
 
Savile Park is now accepting residents from both the community and also those who chose to move from existing residential settings. Visit www.idealcarehomes.co.uk for more info.
